This should lead investors to raise their expectations for the report, NFP due Friday, and that is to be regarded as the most important event of the week for the Euro-Dollar.

Today, the new weakness of the Euro is partly the result of its correlation with the GBP/USD lost about 100 pips since this morning, in the face of remarks by the governor of the central bank of England, Mark Carney. It stated that the rebound of the economy projected by the BoE in its annual predictions is not insured.

It is also noted that the trade balance German disappointing released this morning has done nothing to support the Euro, although it should be noted that the industrial production released at the same time as it revealed better-than-expected.

This afternoon, the only statistic potentially influential will be the entries weekly U.S. unemployment, at 14: 30.
